Dunno why, but OEM ABS is all black, all the aftermarket crap is white... really, I have no clue why that is? Go to home depot and ask them for material spec sheets for black ABS and white ABS water pipes

ABS black plastic actually has some rubber added to it to give it that black pigment and also make it a lil more sturdier than the white plastic. Black plastic is also usually thiicker and thus more sturdy aswell. White plastic is more often than not very thin and very brittle.

Cheers,
Buddah.

with body kits it can vary, majority of kits are fiberglas and the gel colour they put over the kit can vary in colour
